After our dinner, we adjourned to mei heong yuen upon my friend's request to try out the desserts here. According to her, it's pretty good, so we gave it a try. Since we were already so full after dinner, we wanted to order only the green tea snow ice & the mango with pomelo & sago to share among the 3 of us. But we saw a nice picture of the mango roll at the ordering counter & greedy us ordered that too haha.From the picture, my dining companions expected the mango roll to be wrapped with a moc
From the picture, my dining companions expected the mango roll to be wrapped with a mochi-like soft layer. So they were kinda disappointed to realize that it's actually some jelly/gel-like coconut flavoured covering instead which tasted a bit yucky. I find it passable only. There's one big piece of sweet mango within the roll though which saved the dish.
- Mango rollHaving tasted the sweet mango, we were again surprised to find that the mango pieces and puree for our bowl of mango with Pomelo & Sago to be rather sour. Thus began the debate among us. "Must be from different mangoes. No no, perhaps the initial mango was soaked in syrup?" etc etc...
Well, if you are looking for a refreshing dessert that's not sweet then it's ok.
- Mango with Pomelo & SagoAs for the shaved green tea ice, it was not too sweet and had quite a nice green tea flavor to it. I like that they were rather generous with the red beans on the side.
- Green Tea Snow IceThe stall is small, with only 2 tables able to seat 4 people, 2 tables for 2 people only and a side counter with single seats. So only if you are in a small group then it's possible to snag a seat here.
